Question

a salesman earns $240 a week plus a 15% commission on his sales. Last week he sold $500 worth of items. How much did the salesman earn last week?

Answer 1

Answer:  $315

============================================================

Explanation:

15% of $500 = 0.15*500 = 75

The salesman earned $75 in commission on top of the flat weekly salary of $240. So overall, they earned 240+75 = $315 for that week.
